Tonight I reaped the benefit of an internet adventure.

When I purchased the latest release by the The Tragically Hip, In Violet Light, I became a "card carrying" -- one was included inside the CD case -- of the theHipclub. Registering in the "club" meant a chance to pre-purchase tickets online.

I was ready to go at the assigned hour and my "quick draw" on the keyboard led to front-row seats at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium -- a fantastic concert and some great photo opportunities.
